Paris Seen by an American in Winchester Scale
Prof. J. B. Lovett compares Paris to Winchester, noting uniform five story blocks and narrow cross streets two to three miles from central Paris. He says Paris lacks variety in architecture, boulevards comparable to Winchester streets, and only Le Louvre stands out as exceptional among the city’s sights. The correspondent is journeying home from Europe aboard a vessel due in New York.
